Imagine having a magnum or a rocket-propelled grenade served for dinner. Or how about a bite of Claymore or AK-47?
Sound crazy?
Well, now you can actually enjoy a taste of your favorite weapon if you dare venture out into the Hezbollah stronghold and grab yourself a meal at Buns & Guns restaurant, where they say "a sandwich can kill you". hmm
Sure you invite me.
Sandbags cover the exterior - a grim, and perhaps inadvertent, reminder of what Lebanon's government buildings looked like during the 1975-1990 civil war - and the interior is festooned with camouflage nets, defused mortar shells, and live ammunition."We thought at the beginning that it was a weapons store but later we discovered that it was actually a fast food restaurant," said customer Amr Nahas as he ordered a "magnum," a grilled chicken sandwich, with a side order of "grenades" or potato wedges.
Customers enter the restaurant under a sign bearing the restaurant's name - in English - and motto, "a sandwich can kill you," a reference to the large portions. Employees in military uniforms serve meals to the taped sounds of gunfire as "background music."
The glossy camouflaged menus feature burgers with names like "the mortar" and "the 155 mm howitzer," while grilled chicken sandwiches can be a "magnum" or a "rocket-propelled grenade."
